Pssst: Trump wasn't wrong on the rape thing - Marion DS Dreyfus

Though Trump has his distortions and exaggerations, this actually is
not one of them.

Donald
Trump got into a whole big vat of brouhaha early in the campaign when
he noted that many of the men who enter this country illegally are
rapists. He added, "And some, I believe, are all right."

The peals of outrage echo even today, nine and ten months after the remark was made.

Now,
ignorant kids who can't recall three presidents during their lifetimes
or know when the Second World War took place, much less who were the
combatants, opine obnoxiously in full confidence born of utter
cluelessness that the Donald is a "racist" because he stated that many
south of the border infiltrators were indeed what they are: rapists.

The
meme is picked up by adults and never questioned, like the nonsense
that for the Inuit, there are 59 words for snow. No one actually gets
into the dogsled, mukluks up to an igloo, and asks an actual Inuit: "How
many words for snow are there in your language?"

Or
the absurdity of failing to check the number of "disappearing polar
bears" in the far North, but to assume Al Gore's irresponsibly
inaccurate mishmash of a "documentary" had the stats right. He didn't.
And they weren't. There are more polar bears than before.

Okay,
they are not career rapists. They wouldn't, if they could write, put
it on their CVs, for jobs that are under the radar for which they are
minimally qualified. But the fact is, opportunity presents itself in
the perilous, sweltery desert, on nights when people try to catch a few
Zs on makeshift sleeping arrangements, before proceeding onward into the
States – where branded nirvana, plummy entitlements and open-handed
obama-bots grin toothily and wave greenbacks marked Vote Democrat!
at them like friendly Walmart greeters. As many of the people trying
to surge into the U.S. from Guatemala, Honduras, Nicaragua, and Mexico,
of course, happen on occasion to be women or teen girls, nature and
recklessness take over. So rape happens. That qualifies as making
these gangsters and tattooed men about fencing...rapists.

With
reference to mass trespassers who sneak into this country 24/7, more
now as Obama's malign tenure is coming to an end, thousands of reports
have been filed for the past decade, and some on such rape, vandalism,
and chicanery of every sort. Check with the voluminous reports of the
Center for Immigration Studies, with southern newspapers, with police
files across the 1,000+ mile breadth of the southern border.

I
have been on the border, more than once, seen the tracks, and the men
waiting in the baking sun for cloaking nightfall – and invisibility.

Why
is this obvious on-the-ground carnality all suddenly forgotten and
deliberately elided in a vast effort to depopulate the record of
disgraceful misbehavior and criminality?

Not
every alien violating our borders, across or under or through our
defenses, is a sexual predator, but almost every female coming across
has recorded being harassed; sexually molested; or, yes, raped by the
men trudging in around her. To say nothing of the ranchers and
landowners whose livestock and wives and minor children have been also
molested, abused, sometimes slaughtered, with their property laid to
waste and despoiled with bags of feces and bundles of junk, rotting
carcasses, and food ends, trash, and rubbish of every sort.

Why
has this been deleted, when the history of such abuses is profound, of
long duration, and disgracefully unlitigated? To hear tell many
(Democrats), the stealing and territorial vandalism and rape that have
marked all this illegality for so long are a myth, or somehow
conveniently GOP-manufactured, and everyone who comes in without benefit
of papers and documentation is a saint, given only to Mother Teresa
acts and behavior. That is manifestly untrue.

The
ratio of criminals, drug mules, rapists, and actual felons of various
stripes has not been completely systematized, partially because the
border patrols and guards are told to stand down and release anyone for
everything – which they, alas, have been forced to accommodate –
including major car offenses and vehicular manslaughter accompanied by
lack of insurance to cover such mishaps, wanton destruction, and willful
wilding. That does not mean a huge number of crimes have not in the
past – and ongoingly – been perpetrated.

Donald
Trump acknowledging what millions of Southerners have been bitterly
protesting for more than a decade does not make him or you a racist. It
is, sadly, a reality. That geographical distance has kindly permitted
most Northerners to ignore, since it has been at a remove and has been
squelched by so many lawmen and Obama minstrels. Nobody has seen to it
that property owners so savaged and vandalized and stolen from are
indemnified for their losses. And the word from on high, The Man with
his shoes on priceless White House furnishings, has told these
petitioners, and their governors, basically, Shut up, you racist ungrateful privileged colonialists.

So
though Trump has his distortions and exaggerations, this actually is
not one of them. Check the stats and lit yourself. Don't take the word
of people like Ben Rhodes and other Olympic liars to be in any way
reflective of reality. Here or elsewhere.

Has the Fifth Estate gone entirely to sleep in these critical matters?
